Ingredients:
- ¼ cup DORITOS® FLAMIN’ HOT® Limon Flavored Tortilla Chips blitzed into breadcrumbs, plus extra to finish
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 6 ounces lager
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups vegetable oil
- 1 pound tilapia, divided in half lengthwise
- ¾ teaspoon salt, to season the fish
- 6 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- ½ cup shredded cabbage
- ½ cup cilantro leaves, chopped
- ½ cup chipotle salsa
- ¼ cup Mexican crema
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions:
- In a food processor, blitz the chips into breadcrumbs. Add flour to combine.
- Whisk the egg, beer, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the flour and chip mixture, one tablespoon at a time, to the egg mixture. Whisk well to make sure there are no lumps, and until the texture resembles a thin pancake batter.
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium high.
- Season the fish with salt and coat each piece of fish in the batter. Then drop the fish into the oil. Fry until golden on the first side, about 2 minutes, then flip and repeat.
- Transfer the fish onto tortillas and top with pico de gallo, cabbage, cilantro, salsa, crema, Dorito crumbs, and a squeeze of lime to serve.
